It's Been A While

To say the least, my triathlon year has been a disappointment. When 2010 arrived, I had great plans and was very much looking forward to a long season of training and racing. Well, my hamstring had a different plan. It seemed that no amount of stretching and "babying-it" could keep me running pain-free. I ran St. Anthony's very slowly and immediately decided that I was not fit enough for Florida 70.3. With that dream gone - I pretty much abandoned any hope for spring and summer races.
